Southeastern Louisiana University has earned three rankings from U.S. News and World Report, again being named among the top universities in the region.
The university was listed as one of the top 50 public schools and one of the top 100 universities (private or public) in the South. Southeastern also was named as one of the top national performers for the social mobility of its students.
Southeastern President William S. Wainwright said these accolades were yet another testament to the tremendous support Southeastern students receive from faculty and staff.
Every year, U.S. News and World Report publishes college rankings in the United States. Colleges and universities are reviewed based on academic quality and measures, such as graduation rates, retention rates and social mobility. Graduation rates for first-generation college students were once again factored into the ranking’s overall methodology. The ranking “evaluates which schools best serve underrepresented students” and analyzes enrollment and graduation rates of low-income students with Pell Grants. Southeastern was ranked 117th nationally in social mobility.
